Isopods

Welcome to IsoTown!

isopods

Isopods are fascinating creatures that make great pets and are perfect for nature enthusiasts and hobbyists. Additionally, isopods make great feeder treats for reptiles and amphibians, and they assist in the garden by aerating the soil for plants and other creatures.

At Misfit Farms, our creatures live better than most humans. Our isopods are bred in a controlled environment, ensuring their health and well-being. Moreover, the pods of IsoTown are gut loaded with only the best organic foods, many of which are OMRI certified.

As if that weren’t enough, our isopods also enjoy a rotating schedule of darkness and light to simulate their natural environment. They are kept at a toasty temperature of 75 to 80 degrees at all times and get regular “rain shower” misting. Enclosures are checked daily, and the landscape is mixed up weekly to ensure our pods stay stimulated and remain at peak breeding potential.

All this quality time spent with our isopods has given us a thorough understanding of their husbandry, uses, and needs. There are over 5000 species of land-dwelling isopods, and the information can be daunting, so we decide to gather all of our research on these feisty invertebrates to share with you in one place.

Check out our IsoCrabby Blog for helpful and often entertaining articles, and scroll on to read species-specific information. We focus largely on the species that are recognized by the USDA since these are the ones we keep and sell, but you will occasionally find tidbits about more unique species as well (Armadillidium Gestroi, for example). Click each name to read a PDF document on the species. If the name is not blue, this means we have not added the info page yet, so please check back! And when you are ready to buy some isopods of your own, see their shop page here!

**Some of the links you will click (buy now, click this link, etc.) take you to websites other than our own that we partner with as affiliates. If you purchase a product from one of our links, we may get a small commission, but this does not affect our opinions of the products we promote.** Read more here.

Happy Halloween from IsoTown!
